Tosenji Onsen
(看板)
Welcome to Izumiyu, the public bathing facility of the village of Tosenji Onsen. Tosenji has been a busy hot spring resort since the Muromachi period (1336–1573), when samurai warriors were said to recover from battle in these waters. This public bath belongs to one of three hot spring communities in Totsukawa that promise a rare and relaxing bathing experience. We are committed to using only free-flowing hot spring waters, something unheard of at most hot spring baths in Japan. We refrain from processes such as circulation, reuse, reheating, chlorination, or dilution, so that bathers can soak in water that is 100 percent natural, straight from the hot spring source. The baths here are prized for their alkaline sulfur waters and for offering relaxation in a historical setting.
